The writing style was not for me.

I really wanted to love this book, it hit so many themes that I’m into. But… I found myself either bored or confused throughout. I spent the majority of it waiting for it to end.

I don’t know. This seems like it would be my kind of story. But I just couldn’t get into it!  I picked it up so many times over the last six months or so and made a decent effort but I just have no interest in these characters.

I'll borrow "available now" books between the books I actually want to read so I don't expect to run into gems, so this was a fine filler book

The end was good, satisfactorily wrapped up enough that if I don’t read the second one it would be ok. I’ll probably take a break and read something else before reading For The Throne, because the tone of For the Wolf was very somber. The whole story was mysterious and somewhat obtuse, the connections between the Wilderwood, Eammon and the other characters not clearly described until Red actively participated in them, took the Wilderwood into herself.

Kiri was a satisfyingly sinister villain, charming when she needed to be, and I found the machinations of Neve being pulled in to serving Shadow more interesting than Red falling for Eammon. I’d be interested to see if the second book shifts perspective to Neve and Solimon’s relationship.

I guess I thought the echoes of Beauty & the Beast dynamic weren’t absorbing; I didn’t understand clearly enough why Eammon was so self-damning; tbe relationship between him and the forest weren’t very clear. How it was revealed was consistent with the story’s ambiance, I just wish it was done a bit differently.

Very cool, unexpected ending though, for Eammon and Redarys.
